rosspti 2 Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 Had a 2 hour session this afternoon with a friend and my .177 Falcon airrifle. We just rested the airrifle on the wing-mirror and took it in turns to shoot as I drove around the fields. Kept on driving around 3 horse fields (8 acres all togethr) that were full of rabbits. Shot 45 rabbits in 2 hours, broad daylight - and mostly full grown bunnies too - only a few small ones, an no signs of mixy. Good lot of head shots. In one spot I hit 5 rabbits one after the other, gun so quiet the others didn't move - and good head shots so no kicking/squeeking to frighten the others away. Also saw a sneaky fox running off with one of the rabbits we had shot. Quote Link to post

rosspti 2 Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Yeah, there's quite a few rabbits around down here - but no more than average I reckon... dunno - haven't done a UK rabbit survey!!! But horse fields have lovely short grass that the rabbits love, and no wire netting - so they can get in and out of the hedges. In Cornwall we have special hedges around our fields called "Cornish Hedges". They are about 6 - 8 foot wide and about 5 foot high - big walls build of stone and earth - so there are practically no ground sets down here - they all live in the hedges. Then on top of those you get all the thorn bushes, etc. Also, down here the rabbits start breeding in early feb - cause its warmer - so more young each year I suppose. Went out again yesterday from 8 until 10 and got 54 - in the same few fields. Will try to put pics up off my mobile. Cheers Quote Link to post
